In this sermon on Romans 12:3–5, Pastor Blaine lays the foundation for spiritual gifts by starting where most conversations about them don't: humility. He argues that grace doesn't just save us, it also gifts and assigns us — so there's nothing we've accomplished that we get to take credit for, and the real measure isn't how much influence we've been given but whether we were faithful with it. He warns against the cheap praise of men and the ways the modern church has twisted spiritual gifts into platforms for vanity, noting that if applause sticks to you, so will criticism. Finally, he makes the case that the Christian life can't be lived apart from the church — not as something we consume, but as a body we're obligated to serve.
